Monkey See, Monkey Do

AF

First off:

Wikipedia has mirror neuron as:

A neuron that fires both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by another. Thus, the neuron “mirrors” the behavior of the other, as though the observer were itself acting. Such neurons have been directly observed in primate and other species including birds. In humans, brain activity consistent with that of mirror neurons has been found in the premotor cortex, the supplementary motor area, the primary somatosensory cortex and the inferior parietal cortex.

To put it simply…

It’s a neuron that is responsible for the reason we imitate others. 

I can go into details about the technical psychological aspect of mirror neurons, but I’m not going to. It’s not what this post is about. Mirror neurons work on everything that are visual, it works on everything that we see. It is one of the best tool that a marketer use to tell a story.

REBLOGGED from yeahwriters and prompt idea by hashire:

“Create a word, give it a definition and write about it.”

I forgot how seemingly simple a writing exercise can be. Seemingly. Although, it probably is a lot more simple than I have been playing in my head. 

I haven’t written a post on my own personal blog, in so long. Part of me is a little terrified weirded out by the thought of having my writings be judged by strangers and friends alike. Although, at this point, my nostalgia of writing is overwhelmingly powerful- more powerful than my own fear of judgment.
